Soren Eilers

Søren Eilers is a Professor at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, affiliated with both the QA (Analysis & Quantum) and AG (Algebra & Geometry) sections. He holds editorial roles at Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications and contributed to Springer's Operator Algebra and Dynamics proceedings.

Education: M.S. (1993), PhD (1995) in Mathematics from the University of Copenhagen.
Positions: Assistant Professor (1996–1999), Associate Professor (1999–2008), Professor (2008–present).

Research Interests: Focus on operator algebras, particularly C*-algebras associated with discrete structures. Active in symbolic dynamics, K-theory, and experimental mathematics. His work bridges algebraic structures and dynamical systems, with notable contributions to the classification of graph C*-algebras and the LEGO counting problem. Recent efforts emphasize computer-aided methods in mathematical research.

Key Contributions: Pioneered geometric classification of graph C*-algebras, explored flow equivalence of shift spaces, and authored Introduction to Experimental Mathematics (2017). His research has been supported by grants such as the Villum Fonden's Experimental Mathematics initiative (2012–2016).

Teaching & Mentorship: Supervised 28 PhD theses and numerous projects in analysis, discrete mathematics, and experimental mathematics. Taught courses in functional analysis, dynamical systems, and experimental methods.

Scientific Leadership: Organized major programs like the 2016 Mittag-Leffler Institute's classification of operator algebras. Served as President of the Danish Mathematical Society (2006–2008) and led NordForsk's Operator Algebras and Dynamics network (2009–2012).

International Collaboration: Extensive visiting appointments at institutions like MSRI (Berkeley), Fields Institute (Toronto), and Institut Mittag-Leffler (Stockholm). Maintains global research networks in operator algebras and dynamics.
